Today, wasn't the coolest... I got the transfer case up in the truck, along with the driveshafts. Filled the transfer case, all the hubs, the diffs, etc. At the end of the day, I was just curious if it would put around the parking lot. Sadly, I put it into drive and push the throttle and the...

It could be worse, I suppose... The good thing is, it is an A0. I never planned to put auxiliary electrics into the system, mostly to keep it as clean as possible. Hopefully, the local place that built my last alternator is still in business. They rebuilt my old Lotus alternator and did it in...

I wasn't going to make an update, but what the hell. So, today was pretty uneventful. I have been starting the truck everyday now, while using the block heater for about 1-2 hrs beforehand. The only thing that I've noticed in the hose from the thermostat, to the radiator had a tiny weep. I...

Well, some parts arrived, others did not. So, it turned out to be a pretty uneventful weekend. I did get the air intake set up on. Black was most cost effective for the cap, so that is what the truck got. Most of the transfer case parts have arrived, but I am still waiting on a few more things...

Another update... I got the transmission filter changed and also installed the engine block heater. I had to drop the crossmember, but only one side, while loosening and hanging the other side. Since the transfer case isn't in quite yet, it was pretty easy to just support underneath the torque...

Next thing... Back to the soft top kit. Installing it in the cold wasn't the most fun. Although, I was really pushing to get it covered, to finally have the interior dry before the wet. Well, a couple little plastic loops cracked in the process while putting it on. I tried to get everything in...

Okay.... Time for a new update and some questions. So, I've been pretty busy the last week or so and have tried to put in any side time that I might have. Problem is, it is starting to snow and get pretty cold up in the mountains. Luckily, the soft top kit has arrived and just in time. Sadly, I...

Okay... I am a bit of a night owl, maybe. Anyway. So, I continue... Having last left off with wanting to purge the air from the system. I picked up two Walmart group 24F batteries, since that is always an easy upgrade and laid my cables out. The new KDS had arrived, so I finished the grounding...

This next post is a light catch up... It will take me a few posts to get the work on paper, or digital screen. The first thing that mattered to me was whether the engine could actually run. I have worked a bit with diesel engines, so I felt confident in getting the starter to engage the...

I appreciate it, Mogman. This forum has already been awesome, as I have been just following along for weeks now. I have a feeling that this won't be my last HMMWV either, so hopefully I can stay a while :)

Okay.. I will start off with a basic intro. My name is Josh and I come from Utah. I have always had a fascination with HMMWVs and Hummers in general. This 1990 HMMWV was a local purchase and it must have been too much to take on for the previous owners. When I went to see it, whether it would...
